Thor blimey: Chris Hemsworth dressed in drag during an hilarious sketch on Saturday Night Live

Unfortunately he ended up being rumbled due to the fact all all he wanted to do was talk about how hot Chris Hemsworth was.

At first his plan went swimmingly, with his new friends agreeing wholeheartedly whenever he brought his masculine self into the conversation as he sought reassurance over his beefcake status.

At one point the Thor star thundered, to much amusement: ‘I’d rather see him out of the armor, am I right b****es?’

But he ended up being found out by the women as he went to use the toilet and a message from Robert Downey Jr. appeared on his phone.

As they turned the tables the girls began to compliment his brother, Liam, calling him ‘the hotter Hemsworth.’

‘No way, Liam is gross, I heard he breastfed until he was four,’ Chris fired back before revealing himself and ditching the wig.

‘I guess I just wanted to see if girls still liked me. Everyone these days keeps talking about Chris Pratt, Ryan Gosling, and fr***ing Liam from The Hunger Games,’ he explained sadly.

‘I just needed to know, does anyone still finds little old C Hemmy attractive, am I still a hunk?’

The girls agreed he was still a hunk, except for Aidy Bryant.
